Engineering Daze

– you ask a beautiful woman on an outing to “view the aqueducts”, she accepts, and, really, that’s all you do with her, view the aqueducts (and explain the hydraulic principles of how they work).

– you have taught your 8-year-old child to do a b/c (benefit/cost) calculation before deciding on whether to purchase a video game (and the kid has never bought one because of this).

– you made a spreadsheet to track ALL of your child’s hitting and fielding stats, complete with weekly, monthly, and 5-game running averages, and with color graphs and charts – and your child is only 6 years old.

– you have heard someone describe, in detail, how various metals gain different properties depending on which elements are added to the production process, and your first thought was, “Cool”, and not “What a nerd”.

– You have ever calculated the check at a restaurant to the penny, with family members.
